Particularly found in India, China, and Asia these vipers are nocturnal, mean, and they are very, very, fast. The Saw Scaled Viper will bring pain immediately upon their bite and it will quickly lead to swelling and then bleeding from your mouth. Your blood pressure will plummet, your heart rare will slow, and you’ll likely be in pain for the next four or five weeks. Without treatment you could be dead within a day, or suffer for two weeks before finally tapping out.

Common Krait

The next member of India’s ‘Big Four’, and one of the most dangerous snakes on the planet, is the Common Krait. These snakes grow anywhere from three to five feet in length and they have a very flat head with almost no neck to show. The Common Krait changes in its ferocity depending on when you stumble across them. During the day the snake will hide and when found reacts rather slow. At night, however, the Common Krait will bite at the first sign of annoyance while becoming agitated much more quickly. Nerve damage, muscle paralysis, and brain damage can result from an untreated Krait bite.
